[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-6378) Broken symlinks in directory break
RawLocalFileSystem.listStatus
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6378?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12794735#action_12794735 ]
Todd Lipcon commented on HADOOP-6378:
-------------------------------------
This is slightly tricky to resolve. In listStatus, we can catch FileNotFoundException after calling getFileStatus. When that occurs, we have two options: (a) we just don't include that file in the listStatus results, or (b) we include that file with a FileStatus that indicates a 0 length file with 000 permissions. Unfortunately, Java <7 doesn't have any kind of lstat equivalent.
